cpdude,
Recceguy is a wind-up merchant; don't fall for it.
The points you raise about the Freighter Fleet are often said. I however, don't hold a lot stock in those views. No one held a gun to our heads when we signed across to Veta; we knew the seniority we were "giving up". Guys forget or are unaware that the AOA has got further agreements from the company to ensure that freighter folks are not disadvantaged by being held back on the freighter. Whether or not the company can now be held to those agreements are another matter!
Turning to the issue of the ban, glad that someone has contacted IFALPA as it is their ban. It would seem that those concerned by ban should pressure IFALPA either directly, or through their present union, to have the ban either lifted or some form of closure drawn on the ban; coming on here and "whinging" and falling prey to the lurking wind-up merchants does little for your cause or future careers.
